Werk Force Brewing Open 5
The fourth stop of the Greater Joliet Tour Season is wrapped up. Who do we have to pay to get two days of nice weather back to back? Every event so far has had rain, cold, downed trees, muddy conditions or all at the same time. We will remain hopefull. The Werk Force Brewing Open is named after Trinity Links sponsor, Werk Force Brewing in Plainfield, IL. The owner, Brandon Wright, played disc golf back in college and even sold discs at one point but decided that beer was his passion. “Brando” opened a homebrew shop in Plainfield then pivoted his business plan to a full brewery and taproom. Be sure to give them a visit, they have a killer vibe and perfect outdoor patio to enjoy their beer or seltzers on a sunny day.
There were 1st Place playoffs in four different divisions, FA3, FA1, MA2 & MA3.

Gianna Losito (10) continues to dominate FA4, she took down the division shooting 66 points above her rating.
Kathy Crick took down her first official win in FA3 after a playoff against Mandy Lewis.
I have been excited to watch the FA1 division grow and these ladies sure put on a show! Alexa Marx improved by 15 stokes since last years WFBO4 and took 2nd in the playoff against Erin Havok. Erin takes down her 30th career win!
